Actor Sumeet Sachdev, who plays the role of Mani in Star Plus' Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, recently shared some sad news with his fans on social media. Reportedly, the actor's wife Amrita Gujral, who was five months pregnant, suffered an unfortunate miscarriage. The family is in deep grief. Just yesterday, Sumeet took to the photo-sharing app to share the news. In his post, the actor also revealed that the couple has started a petition in a bid to seek justice.

According to his petition, Sumeet mentioned that the mishap happened due to Amrita's employer Mr Prahlad Advani, who harassed her over maternity leaves. Reportedly, Advani withdrew the sanction of the leave that he earlier gave her, where she could have worked from home. This happened after a week's time, when her paid leave was over. However, when Amrita resumed work, she had to go through a lot of physical and mental stress, complicating her condition and was then hospitalised. Within no time, Amrita received the termination letter. Yes, right after Amrita was suddenly discarded from the company and was given the letter, her umbilical cord prolapsed and they lost their baby.

The petition read, "Employers harassment over maternity leave because of a personal issue causes loss of innocent CHILD'S LIFE. Amrita Sachdev who was a very senior employee with the Caravela hotel in Goa since 2016, tragically lost her child as a result of mental anguish and torment she was subjected to because she was pregnant and opted to take leave for the advised bed rest."

Meanwhile, Sumeet's caption of the post on Instagram read, "Introducing you all to EHAN ... beloved son of Amrita & Sumeet. You came into our lives And made it shine so bright We were family From two now we were three. We saw you wave at us Excitedly saying hi Little did we know You meant to say GOODBYE. Your brief time with us Was it for a reason? All we know is you were born...... straight into Heaven. Ehan, you shall be loved and missed always... Please sign this petition https://chn.ge/2oQcsp2 ...and spread the word and awareness for others to do so as well. A humble request. Thank you. (Link to the petition is shared on my bio - Thanks again)." We wish Sumeet and Amrita, who got married in 2007, more power and strength!
